Baker Donelson's Atlanta office boasts a rich history, tracing its origins to combinations with highly respected firms like Kennedy Davis and Hodge in 2000, and Gambrell & Stolz in 2007. Since then, the firm's strategic vision has been steadfast: to deliver the highest quality legal services to clients across a diverse spectrum of businesses and industries. Our practice encompasses the full gamut of business legal services, addressing everything from complicated commercial litigation and employment law to real estate, health care, technology, transportation, toxic tort, and bankruptcy/restructuring. We also provide sophisticated financial services, corporate transactions, and compliance advice.

The firm is a recognized leader within the startup community, offering critical legal advice and resources tailored to emerging companies. We leverage our extensive platform to provide practical and valuable solutions for our clients' most important legal, policy, and business matters. Our skilled attorneys consistently receive national recognition in prestigious rankings such as Chambers USA: America's Leading Business Lawyers, The Best Lawyers in America®, and Georgia Super Lawyers. Local publications like Georgia Trend's Legal Elite, the Daily Report, and the Atlanta Business Chronicle also frequently highlight our professionals.

Beyond our legal practice, Baker Donelson plays a significant leadership role in Atlanta's civic, cultural, and philanthropic communities. Our attorneys and staff are active leaders, generous donors, and dedicated volunteers for numerous community organizations. We are also deeply committed to providing extensive pro bono legal services through partnerships with organizations such as the Atlanta Volunteer Legal Foundation and Atlanta Legal Aid. Our attorneys have held significant bar leadership roles at local, state, and national levels, including Ivy Cadle, who serves as president of the State Bar of Georgia, and Linda Klein, the first woman president of the State Bar of Georgia and a past president of the American Bar Association. We are proud of our numerous recognitions as an exceptional workplace, continually fostering a culture of inclusion.
